The Vélodrome belongs to the Marseillais for Gaudin

“I have always considered that the stadium, like the Old Port of Marseille or Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, belonged to all Marseillais. And that, therefore, it should not be touched. If the mayor decides to sell the stadium, it will also be necessary to add 100 million public money to the sale price. Because there was, at the time when it was transformed into a new stadium that everyone likes the world, 47 million from the city, 30 million from the departmental council, 20 million from the urban community, 12 million from the region. This is roughly 100 million euros that will have to be added to the sale price “, confides- he first, while the new mayor of the city, Benoît Payan, is not against the idea of ​​selling him to OM.

And on that, Gaudin quickly replied, involving Paris Saint-Germain in an indirect way. “If it’s to cross the Mediterranean to find a buyer for the stadium in a few other powerful countries, I don’t think the Marseillais like that very much. I don’t think it’s a good thing. not Paris Saint-Germain here, “he said. It is said on behalf of the former Marseille mayor, but the subject does not seem ready to be closed.
